May 18, 2010 — Footage outside construction site for BP's Helios project. UC Berkeley Police stop by to check on their toxic assets. A $500Mil project, it is the largest corporate deal made in conjunction with any university. The name is a misnomer given that the Helios project has nothing to do with solar energy. Rather it will be a research facility for more petroleum exploits. There is also a secondary goal of growing bio-engineered switch-grass in South America, cutting down more trees to grow the bio-engineered grass. BP will control all research, treating professors and students as BP employees.
